Greenkeys,

Had a short QSO with Roy on 10.137 yesterday.  Roy had a little 
trouble with the packet racket just above us.  I used the audio 
spectrum analyzer display on WinPSK23 to tune the TS-940S SSB 
slope tuning and to set the notch filter.  Works kinda neat, chops 
out the offending signals.  The configuration here is a Hal ST-6 
which has been modified with RS-232.  The software I used was my 
own terminal program that converts the ST-6 BAUDOT to ASCII.  

I suggest establishing the base frequency we all use as the "MARK" 
frequency.  That way we do not have to figure out what the mid-
channel offsets are for 170, 200 or 850 Hz.  Makes it easy to 
set up your frequency using a frequency counter on signals generated
by SSB LSB or pure FSK.  My HP5303A frequeny counter seems to 
read the true pseudo-RF frequency for "MARK" using AFSK over SSB. 
Don't trust the frequency display on your SSB transceiver, it is
based on an AFSK audio frequency of zero.
